Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
UPDATE: Was $3400. **SOLD**
Here’s a highly modded flattie.
“1948 4X4 Willys Jeep, 283 Chevy engine, 4 speed transmission, front disc brakes, air compressor, back seat, 8000 lb winch on front, 33″ swamper tires that go great in the sand, dana locker rear end. This jeep has been in the woods and the beach. It goes anywhere you take it. Asking $3400 obo.”
After seeing this ad multiple times, it got to me. The seller claims in each ad that the photo below was taken during the Prohibition era.
I mean, c’mon, how difficult is it to look up Prohibition (1919 -1933) and look up when jeeps were built (nothing before 1940). I mean, am I asking so much?
Now here’s a more complete version of the picture. Note the jeep is atop wood slats which are atop beer bottles.
Ok, here’s the best one I found. I thought I had posted it previously.
and a pic of the Andrew sisters .. is that them? Could be.
UPDATE: The seller has dropped the price to $2000 and is throwing in a beat up 1952 M-38. I’d say this is a good price.
(12/27/09) The seller notes that this would not make a good original restoration projection.
“I have a 1952 M38 for sale along with a 1955 M170. The M38 is still 24 volt and would make a great restoration project, it does not run. The M170 has been converted to 12 volt and has aftermarket seat frames, it would also make a great project. The M170 was a military ambulance when it was in service. Both are classic vehicles and would be great for trail jeeps or collectibles. I priced them together and cheap because i need to get rid of both of them. All i am asking is to get my money back out of them. Please call or text 334-750-1062 and ask for Mac. I am 25-30 miles outside of columbus. Please no emails. Thanks for looking!”

This looks like a solid truck.
“willys needs a new home moving and cant take it this truck is almost completely restored with 28,000 original miles clear title ready for transfer 4000 cash or best offer i have lots of pics if interested”
The pics aren’t the greatest, but this might be nice.
“I hate, hate, hate that I have to sell this Jeep. I purchased in the early 2000’s and have 293 recorded man hours into the restoration. I have a full photo album of pictures from the very early stages through completion. However, none are online. I have taken a few pictures of the pictures with my camera phone.
Too much detail to go into regarding the restoration, but I do have a printout of everything that went into it. It runs well and is started weekly to keep everything in working order. T-90 Transmission and Transfer Case Model 18. Engine: #J45856. This restoration is one of the nicest that I’ve ever seen. This jeep is a great collectible and a piece of American history. Please feel free to ask questions, I’ll do my best to answer. $15,000.00 OBO… Make an offer!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.
This looks like it’s in great shape. Might be a deal.
“1960 willys cj5 jeep. Runs and drives good. It has a fiberglass body with original drive train. It is a 4 cylinder f- head with a 3 speed transmission. Twin stick 4wd with locking hubs. Many new parts including Brakes, tires, windshield, paint, seats, steering wheel and wiring harness. Needs very little to finish. Like mirrors, e brake and the horn has to be hooked up. I have the mirrors and horn, just haven’t had any time. A lot of time and money have been spent, but it has to go.”
No pictures. Is this tailgate really so rare?
“I have a super rare Willys pickup tailgate stamped with the W over the O that became the most recognized Willys Overland symbol. It is in very good condition. While the pickup remained the same from the 40’s to the 60’s, this tailgate was only made from 49-52……..and I challenge you to find one available for sale. replies MUST have WILLYS in the subject or I will delete as spam. Will consider all sorts of possible trade material….motorcycles, tools, firearms….what do you have?”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
I’m assuming it’s the green jeep for sale?
“1952 willy mb green with a 289ford v8 and headers, need work (master cylinder,body and wiring) engine runs very good and has a excellent vinyl top black in color . $400.00 firm. Pick-up only”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5400.
Located in Windsor, Rhode Island.
While this may be a fine jeep, claiming that, except for the longer length of a CJ-7, this is a ‘perfect copy’ of a M-38A1 seems a bit dishonest to me. Exactly what part of this jeep is a ‘perfect copy’ of a M-38A1?
“Up for sale is a Korean war era M38A1 1985 CJ7 MASQUARADE. Apart from the fact that CJ7s are about 8 inches longer this is a perfect copy. Its got a 5 speed transmision with the AMC 258 L6 motor and the 3.31 axel to gear ratio. And good 28′ wheels and tires. Only 130,000 miles on it (pretty low for a jeep) …. Military stuff: Comes with “lusterless forest green” high test military paint job as well as has “USN 023990″ painted on hood (yes the navy actually had more green jeeps then grey jeeps). Has military canvas seats, an authentic m38a1 dashboard (with all gauges hooked up and working, military black out lights and locking toggle switches (including blackout light, convoy lights and military rear and front light clusters). Comes with digital camo hard top and authentic jerry can and bracket.”
Someone traded this in for a Jag perhaps?
“Rare Numbers Matching Ford GPW Military Jeep! This Jeep has been very well cared for and captures history of WWII Much More Information. Call Zachary Blaugh, Internet Sales Manager at 941-232-4236 OR 800-791-4271. VIN GPW261030”
